Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Brecksville, OH.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
